For videophiles, equipment reviewers and consumer electronics professionals, the launch of a new, top-of-the-line Sony DVD player is always an occasion. In 1997, Sony’s original DVP-S7000 was acclaimed as the “Reference Standard.” In 1998, the second-generation DVP-S7700 took DVD playback to a new level of accuracy. Now the Sony DVP- S9000ES DVD-Video/CD/SACD player redefines the category. The player is a comprehensive redesign that represents three significant firsts: • The world’s first DV
